Erlang is a bridge from Ruby to Erlang, build over EventMachine.

Native erl_interface lib doesn't fit for event-based usage, it blocks whole
application and is not suitable for modern applications.

Erlang distributed protocol is rather simple, so its base is implemented in this library,
except distributed caches.

However, most problems lies in the application level. Based on data transfer protocol,
simple as the erlang itself, lies application protocol, which is rather hard to implement and
not very useful.


Examples:

  EventMachine.run do
    Erlang::Server.run do |creation|
      Erlang.register_process(:rtmp, Processes::RtmpListener.new)  # The same as register process in erlang

      Erlang.creation = creation
      puts "Epmd registered us: #{Erlang.creation}"
      Erlang::Epmd.nodes do |nodes|
        puts nodes
      end
    end
    # Erlang::Client.connect("localhost", "rtmpproxy") do |client|
    #   client.rpc(:io, :format, "Hello world") do |result|
    #     puts "Result: #{result.inspect}"
    #   end
    # end
  end
